Become a Phoenix Scholar

The application is now closed. Our application will re-open in January 2021 for the 2021-2022 cohort of Scholars.

High school juniors and students who plan to graduate from high school in the 2020-2021 school year are welcome to apply when applications open. Accepted applicants typically identify with two of the three following criteria:

Low-income (student qualifies for free/reduced lunch)

First generation (student's parent(s)/guardian(s) did not receive a degree from a degree granting four-year college or university)

Minority (student identifies as Hispanic/Latino, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and/or American Indian or Alaskan Native)

Students who don't identify with two of the above criteria are encouraged to still apply! We aim to help as many students as possible within our capacity. We also require that students who apply have demonstrated academic interest by maintaining a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 or higher.
